Darnold has had a tough few weeks, taking a week off to a breather is not the worst thing in the world, even if he isn't hurt that bad. Give him 2 weeks off to rest, and come back strong.

Sit and watch a veteran play. ask alot of questions,and learn. Both QB's had similar question marks coming out of college. Gunslinger"s who turn the ball over too much. Sloppy footwork. Darnold didn't do anything special in the preseason to justify him getting the starting job How did he do in Week 1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure they don’t want to have to make a roster move and cut someone so Webb can be the back up for one week. It could be a situation where they roll the dice and have Darnold there to literally just hand the ball off if he needs to go in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just dumb coaching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's also remember that everyone bashed Bowlesfor not starting Hack at the end of last year. Turned out there was a reason and it wasn't Bowles stubbornness it was the team already knowing Hack sucked. You give kids PT when they earn it, not just to appease the fan base. So this notion that Bowles will stick with Bowles all season based on crap from last year is just ridiculous. Gee I never heard a HC say one thing and then do another ?

Am I missing something? If McCown does pull a Fitzmagic Bowles almost has to run with the hot hand? Until he implodes like Fitztragic did. Maybe -maybe not but injuries can be extended -oh he reinjured it in practice. So again Bowles sais the politically correct thing to say - while he’s whispering in McCowns ear “keep winning and u stay in”. Anything is possible.

varjet Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 There are only two logical explanations for this: Chris told Mac and Bowles to shelve Darnold to preserve the Franchise Asset. That is the best case. Of course Bowles is going to try and win to save his job. That is bad. But there is no other choice. Bowles is switching to McCown, who is not under contract next year and is not the future, to try and win some games to save his job. That will of course lower the Jets in draft order for some useless victories. That would be bad logic. But in the end, keeping Darnold off the field is a positive.

Just like the defensive play calling Bowles can't admit that he took it away. They basically did this behind the scenes so Sam doesn't get nailed hy the media.

Maybe because Bowles isn't the only one in charge of this team and even if he was dumb enough to want to stick with Mccown, Macc would step in. But if you prefer to drive yourself crazy worrying about things the coach has already shot down, then go ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hael Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 McCown was like the 12th best qb in the league last year, despite playing without Enunwa and an imo worse OL. Of course he was in a very favorable system that he was familiar with and it's far from clear if he is adept or suited to our current OC's system. Either way, this is his last year in the league and it doesn't really make sense to bench a healthy Darnold, unless we really see him regressing.
